South Carolina Topography

South Carolina was named in honor of King Charles I of England.
Its terrain rises from swampy coastal plain in the southeast to the
Piedmont's rolling hills, then up to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the
northwest. The region is drained by numerous rivers, including
the Savannah River along the southwestern border. Coastal resort
towns such as Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head attract beachgoers, golfers,
and tennis players, while Fort Sumter National Monument and Cowpens
National Battlefield are important historic sites. Visit the
